    JonahSlakes got a reaction from NikoLeto in Help me Rebrand, get a free eyeful!   
    I think I should clarify that I was trying to make a distinction between my escorting clients and my onlyfans subscribers. I'm comfortable having two different names because my escorting clients will find me as Joshua Mann for now, and my internet engagement will be united under one easy-to-search brand that better matches my content.
     
    It's also worth saying that I'm not interested in extorting anyone. My onlyfans is already over-delivering, in my opinion. I'd like to ask extra for longer videos that need other models for, as the extra work of coordinating, shooting, and editing a 15-20min scene is really an undertaking. I like that on OnlyFans, they allow me to set a "Fundraising Goal" So the subscribers that are interested in unlocking the video can contribute to a low-stakes amount like $25 in $5 pieces, and once the goal is reached, the video is unlocked for all subscribers. I think this is a great happy medium between "Keep paying me or be totally disappointed" and "Here's everything everybody all the time."
     
    I LOVE what you are saying about fan engagement. I'm loving engaging my subscribers and trying to get to know what makes them tick. The best internet customers for me are the ones paying my monthly subscription, and I need to know what they want to see so I can cater my feed to them. I'm committed to being most avialable to my subscribers, and answering their messages promptly. I really believe that this the heart of what people are paying for in subscription fees. There's a million jerk off videos and fuckvids online all over, but the ones who want my attention and affection are on my page and I'm committed to them.
     

    I'm offering a promotion for the 6month subscription because the most viewed piece of porn that I'm in is only part of the scene, and I want people to see the rest of it. I edited the video together, and spent a lot of time converting portrait videos into landscape videos, which is really a pain. The Boulevard Man stuff is really popular, and I'd like the release of this video to be slow and appreciated. I don't want to pressure you into a 6 month subscription, and I'm glad you are skeptical. I want your criticism and encouragement, so would you please tell me your OnlyFans userID so I can find you and offer you a free month? I would love more of your guidance. Guys that are willing to speak up about what does and doesn't work are really hard to come by, as most of the disappointed ones will just wander away to something else and let their subscriptions lapse. Tell me what you want and as always I'll do my best
     
    As I say above, and I think you were indicating before that, the heart of a 6month subscription is the connection through messaging and catered content. The content flows from my interaction with the subscribers, ideally, and messaging with them gives me a finger on the pulse of what people want to see from me. I'm finding that the most consumed content I'm producing is somewhere between my off-camera desires, and how people project that I am in the world. I'm not even convinced that dick pics are my selling point because I'm not hung, so I'm trying out new things and finding the niche. Right now, I think that is variety, so I can cast a broad net and focus down the road. I just started my first theme week, "Pool Boy Week" and have videos of me doing various sexy activities like skimming the pool, sweating in a lounge chair, inviting subscribers in to the day-to-day of gearing up for a poolside sex scene.
     
    The scene is really hot and I just finished days of editing, and I'll ask a little extra from my subscribers to release that content on Friday. Something small seems reasonable for original content that I worked hard to produce. I have 26 fans right now, so if half of them are willing to pay $5 for the scene, that seems reasonable. The others that aren't don't have to pay and will get access all the same. Later, when I have lots of subscribers, I can ask the ones that want foot fetish content to pay for that specific video, for example. I can make an armpit pack, and offer that for the ones that really love pits, and the ones who don't, don't have to pay for it, and it won't be in my feed to turn off the squeamish ones.
     
    I think that my subscribers want to see me cum. I think I can commit to showing how I do that solo once a week. I can show them glimpses into my life with invitations for imagining themselves there next to me, as part of the fun. And once a month, I can ask a little extra for the extra work I put into coordinating with other performers that will put on a great show. Then, when people want content that doesn't flow as regularly, or has the risk of alienating a significant portion of my fan base, I can offer it discretely in a message that has a warning label and a LOW pay wall. Does that still seem unfair?
     
    It sounds like you have been exhausted by overpaying for indifferent content providers, Wolver. I'm sorry that happened and I hope to do better than them. Keep telling me how to keep subscribers like you happy so I can keep producing content with TRACTION with a pricing scheme that feels right.

    Damn that Collin Simpson pricing structure sounds exploitative. I'm so down to message with my subscribers. Only thing I'm asking extra for is longer scenes and custom content requests (Send me fresh feet pics, etc). I had no idea that this was how Griffin Barrows got so famous but it makes total sense now.

    The problem with these fan sites is there is only so much you can do & they become repetitious. Eventually people lose interest & stop subscribing. .Also it is really hard to find people you are interested in seeing if you only see a tiny picture next to their name. The few people I subscribed to I knew who they were so that’s how I found them. I’m sure there are others out there that I would like to see (for at least a week) but don’t know who they are or what they actually look like until I subscribe. Maybe if you have a couple of free videos on the top of your page you will get more traffic.

    I'd compromise and go with Joshua Slakes. As you mentioned, DaddyBoyJosh does carry the age dynamics plus there are plenty of guys who don't think of themselves as "daddy" and/or do not get into "daddy/son" play. "DaddyBoy" anything also has a short shelf life. At some point you will age out of that and then what? Re-brand AGAIN?
     
    My concern with Jonah is two-fold: First, it breaks from your existing name Joshua. Second, Jonah is popular now but will wane in the next few years. Joshua is a classic name but is different than John or Bill or some such.

    I like your Just for fans site. I actually have subscribed to it off an on (I usually only subscribe to two to three guys at a time). I think the content on there is hot. Definitely you could do some interesting tutorials or videos. Maybe talk a bit about gardening, culture, prepping for fun. It really could be anything. I think the explicit stuff is going to be your bread and butter, but I can also see mixing in some other content so you're not having to constantly produce that.
     
    Personally I've always liked the collaborations you've done with many guys that I like and even have been with like Sherman Maus and Boulevard Man. All of that stuff I fine very hot.
     
    Thanks for all that you do. I once tried to meet up with you but ended up not working. Hope we can cross paths sometime in the future.

    I wish I could give you better advice, but I still don't really know the real difference between Only Fans and Just For Fans, so I can't offer much advice on how to market on those sites. I'm more of a "hire a guy in real life" type of client, and wish I'd taken the opportunity to see you when you were based out of NYC. My main issue with those fans sites is that they don't provide a real preview of the guy's page before subscribing, so I can't be sure if I'd even get much value out of it without knowing whether the page offers what I like.
     
    I signed up for one of those Fans pages (don't remember which site, at this point) several months ago pre-pandemic just to support one of the strippers I used to get lapdances from at the Adonis Lounge here in NYC. I didn't find it to be all that interesting, but that might be because he was still working the kinks out on his page (the guy's a total sweetheart, although he's straight, so that might've been part of my issue with it).
     
    Take the following advice with a grain of salt, given my limited experience with those forms of media. But, I'd personally like the more explicit content, with videos of hot scenes (either solo or with other hot guys), and I find it strange that guys would be intimidated by that. Tutorials on hygiene, sex tips, and even healthy eating/cooking I'd find valuable as well. Maybe you could even have different subscription models allowing for separate access to explicit content and tutorial content. Just my 2 cents...

    Hey Daddies!
     
    I'm a masseur, escort, and amateur pornstar and I'm working on a rebrand, and I NEED YOU!
     
    I used to be @verslildevil and all my content is currently on Twitter and Justfor.Fans. I just started imagining producing my own content more seriously, and committing to growing a fan base that will support me full time, and something more in line with my sexual/emotional proclivities. Along that line, I'm working on a new brand: DaddyBoy Josh. On my Instagram, I already started the transition, and I need you Daddys to help me become a real success. I read your feedback about pricing and what I offer, and LOVE the opportunities to improve my business and interpersonal skills. I will likely keep the side hustle as a bodyworker and sex-educator when the right opportunity presents itself (Don't judge my massage website just yet!) but I believe that this extra-isolated time presents a great opportunity to take the connection onto subscription videos for anyone who wants to connect but is playing it safe, like me. Here's where you come in:
     
    First, I need to know what platform to launch this new brand. Which do you prefer: Just For Fans or Only Fans? WHO HAS MORE MEMBERS WILLING TO SUBSCRIBE TO DADDYSBOYJOSH? Please vote on the poll below!
     
    Second, I need to know what kind of content you want to see. On my Justfor.Fans page, I have tons of super-explicit content, and I'm hearing that it can be kind of a turn-off or intimidating. If you have a minute, you can sign up for two free weeks with the promo code "BusinessBoy" to see what I'm talking about. Obviously there is a lot of room for improvement with regularity, and I'll get to that next. But I also need to hear about what you personally would like to see me post about, and any other suggestions you have regarding what I currently have. As part of this rebranding, I may use the best of these videos if they fit my weekly theme, so what works for you? What really doesn't work?
     
    I'm committing to posting daily nude pictures/videos all in a theme. I'll post one longer solo-sex video a week, and a how-to video at least monthly. I know some things about some stuff—like gardening, cooking, and sex—and I want the challenge of getting clear about what I know and don't know. Additionally, I'll offer duo videos or group scenes with harder-core/fetish stuff for a little extra $, so there is a bit of a veil between the twitter-masses and my deepest desires-made-bare.
     
    I would be so grateful if you can comment with things you would like to see me use as a theme. I already have ideas like camping, religion, and daily hygiene for themes, but I need your creativity. What do Daddies teach boys like me about being a man? Let me know what you want to see in the comments below, and then stay tuned so I can show you what I learn.

    Hey guys! Yeah I love hiring other escorts. It's amazing how much time you spend working out an appointment with a professional, rather than trying to pull trade from Grindr, etc. Also, with hired guys, I can pick exactly who I want, and trust that they are down to meet and see how we click.
     
    My favorite thing about hiring providers is that I feel especially good about asking for what I want. I pay a lot of attention to being a good partner in the bedroom, and sometimes, I wanna relax and get railed, play out a role-play fantasy, or lean into new territory. Providers are good at supporting people's explorations, and I can lean into their support more easily if I am confident that they feel supported with some cash, come what may.
     
    I'm starting to think of video production more like a producer rather than a performer, and so I'm getting more excited to work with talented porn stars. I'd consider paying my favorites, ones with demonstrated skills. IronMaus is a really good example of someone who I should absolutely pay for shoots, as his career and skills have only bolstered mine. I learn something new about video production from this wiz-kid every time we talk.
